Book 3: A Quest That Doesn’t Go…Well (Family-Friendly Fantasy Series)
Book 3: Well, Well, Well…
Though he’s living the high life, Sir Roderick yearns for another quest–a dragon to slay or a villainous plot to foil. A visit to the Elven Bureau of Investigation reveals that they are still looking for a list of the Beandom’s most wanted. However, when he agrees to help, he confronts the Needler–a man who can bring people to their knees with his words. To vanquish this formidable foe, Sir Roderick makes a wish at a cursed wishing well to give him the power to resist the Needler’s attacks, with no idea how steep of a price the well requires. Even then, he can’t defeat the Needler alone and must assemble a team to avenge the Needler’s atrocities. But even as he rides off into battle, the well’s curse hangs over him…
“I can’t get over the universal appeal this nonsensical story must have. I caught references to the 1960’s (Tiptoeing through the tulips), 1970’s (Rod Squad), and more. As usual, the footnotes were a hoot.
As the SNL character Stefan would say, this story has everything…dragon excrement, zombies, a golem, a cackling coach, expert oxymorons, “bad cop/worse cop”, a hummingbear (yes, a hummingbear), Elves, a questionable wishing well, and much, much more.
Nathan the Needler was the primary bad guy in this audiobook, although I think he had a fairly good reason for turning evil, (just my opinion).
“Well, Well, Well…A Wonderful Week for a Quest, Book 3” is a humorous, delightful story that is certain to take you away from the stress of your day. Enjoy.”
“I enjoyed the third book in the series as much as the first two. I was very amused while listening to this audiobook. Although the story wasn’t very long, I thought it was charming and creative. I liked the character arc for Sir Roderick. It seemed to me that the more trials and tribulations which Sir Roderick has undergone throughout the first three books of the series have made him a more fascinating character. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. My admiration for the narrative skills of Kevin Perkins has increased with each new story that I have had the pleasure to experience.”
